Pause in android text to speech

I can pause and resume in text to speech by using below code but onRangeStart() values are discarded, i am highlighting text also while tts is speaking however when i resume, then onRangeStart() values fall back to 0th index.
HOW can i save onRangeStart() values?
int index;
int start;
int end;
String text;
String alltext;
public void getReady() {
alltext = main_input.getText().toString() ;
alltextlen = alltext.length();
list.clear();
int i;
int i2 = 0;
while(true) {
i = alltextlen;
if(i2 >= i - 1) {
break;
}
String s = Character.toString().alltext.charAt(i2);
if(s.equals(".") {
list.add(i2);
i2++;
}
list.add(i - 1);
start = maininput.getSelectionStart();
while(i3 < list.size()) {
if(list.get(i3) >= start) {
index = i3;
break;
}
speak();
}
private void speak() {
if(index < list.size()) {
end = list.get(index) + 1;
text = allText.substring(start, end);
start = end;
texttospeech.speak(text, 0, null, "tts");
}
}

Comparison of app version

How to compare app version in android
I got latest version code and current version code , but the problem is
current version is 1.0
and latest version is 1.0.0
so how to compare that float value in android

I have written a small Android library for comparing version numbers: https://github.com/G00fY2/version-compare
What it basically does is this:
public int compareVersions(String versionA, String versionB) {
String[] versionTokensA = versionA.split("\\.");
String[] versionTokensB = versionB.split("\\.");
List<Integer> versionNumbersA = new ArrayList<>();
List<Integer> versionNumbersB = new ArrayList<>();
for (String versionToken : versionTokensA) {
versionNumbersA.add(Integer.parseInt(versionToken));
}
for (String versionToken : versionTokensB) {
versionNumbersB.add(Integer.parseInt(versionToken));
}
final int versionASize = versionNumbersA.size();
final int versionBSize = versionNumbersB.size();
int maxSize = Math.max(versionASize, versionBSize);
for (int i = 0; i < maxSize; i++) {
if ((i < versionASize ? versionNumbersA.get(i) : 0) > (i < versionBSize ? versionNumbersB.get(i) : 0)) {
return 1;
} else if ((i < versionASize ? versionNumbersA.get(i) : 0) < (i < versionBSize ? versionNumbersB.get(i) : 0)) {
return -1;
}
}
return 0;
}
This snippet doesn't offer any error checks or handling. Beside that my library also supports suffixes like "1.2-rc" > "1.2-beta".

I am a bit late to the party but I have a great solution for all of you!
1. Use this class:
public class VersionComparator implements Comparator {
public boolean equals(Object o1, Object o2) {
return compare(o1, o2) == 0;
}
public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
String version1 = (String) o1;
String version2 = (String) o2;
VersionTokenizer tokenizer1 = new VersionTokenizer(version1);
VersionTokenizer tokenizer2 = new VersionTokenizer(version2);
int number1, number2;
String suffix1, suffix2;
while (tokenizer1.MoveNext()) {
if (!tokenizer2.MoveNext()) {
do {
number1 = tokenizer1.getNumber();
suffix1 = tokenizer1.getSuffix();
if (number1 != 0 || suffix1.length() != 0) {
// Version one is longer than number two, and non-zero
return 1;
}
}
while (tokenizer1.MoveNext());
// Version one is longer than version two, but zero
return 0;
}
number1 = tokenizer1.getNumber();
suffix1 = tokenizer1.getSuffix();
number2 = tokenizer2.getNumber();
suffix2 = tokenizer2.getSuffix();
if (number1 < number2) {
// Number one is less than number two
return -1;
}
if (number1 > number2) {
// Number one is greater than number two
return 1;
}
boolean empty1 = suffix1.length() == 0;
boolean empty2 = suffix2.length() == 0;
if (empty1 && empty2) continue; // No suffixes
if (empty1) return 1; // First suffix is empty (1.2 > 1.2b)
if (empty2) return -1; // Second suffix is empty (1.2a < 1.2)
// Lexical comparison of suffixes
int result = suffix1.compareTo(suffix2);
if (result != 0) return result;
}
if (tokenizer2.MoveNext()) {
do {
number2 = tokenizer2.getNumber();
suffix2 = tokenizer2.getSuffix();
if (number2 != 0 || suffix2.length() != 0) {
// Version one is longer than version two, and non-zero
return -1;
}
}
while (tokenizer2.MoveNext());
// Version two is longer than version one, but zero
return 0;
}
return 0;
}
// VersionTokenizer.java
public static class VersionTokenizer {
private final String _versionString;
private final int _length;
private int _position;
private int _number;
private String _suffix;
private boolean _hasValue;
VersionTokenizer(String versionString) {
if (versionString == null)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("versionString is null");
_versionString = versionString;
_length = versionString.length();
}
public int getNumber() {
return _number;
}
String getSuffix() {
return _suffix;
}
public boolean hasValue() {
return _hasValue;
}
boolean MoveNext() {
_number = 0;
_suffix = "";
_hasValue = false;
// No more characters
if (_position >= _length)
return false;
_hasValue = true;
while (_position < _length) {
char c = _versionString.charAt(_position);
if (c < '0' || c > '9') break;
_number = _number * 10 + (c - '0');
_position++;
}
int suffixStart = _position;
while (_position < _length) {
char c = _versionString.charAt(_position);
if (c == '.') break;
_position++;
}
_suffix = _versionString.substring(suffixStart, _position);
if (_position < _length) _position++;
return true;
}
}
}
2. create this function
private fun isNewVersionAvailable(currentVersion: String, latestVersion: String): Boolean {
val versionComparator = VersionComparator()
val result: Int = versionComparator.compare(currentVersion, latestVersion)
var op = "=="
if (result < 0) op = "<"
if (result > 0) op = ">"
System.out.printf("%s %s %s\n", currentVersion, op, latestVersion)
return if (op == ">" || op == "==") {
false
} else op == "<"
}
3. and just call it by
e.g. isNewVersionAvailable("1.2.8","1.2.9") where 1.2.8 is your current version here and 1.2.9 is the latest version, which returns true!

Why overcomplicate this so much?
Just scale the major, minor, patch version and you have it covered:
fun getAppVersionFromString(version: String): Int { // "2.3.5"
val versions = version.split(".") // [2, 3, 5]
val major = versions[0].toIntOrDefault(0) * 10000 // 20000
val minor = versions[1].toIntOrDefault(0) * 1000 // 3000
val patch = versions[2].toIntOrDefault(0) * 100 // 500
return major + minor + patch // 2350
}
That way when you compare e.g 9.10.10 with 10.0.0 the second one is greater.

Use the following method to compare the versions number:
Convert float to String first.
public static int versionCompare(String str1, String str2) {
String[] vals1 = str1.split("\\.");
String[] vals2 = str2.split("\\.");
int i = 0;
// set index to first non-equal ordinal or length of shortest version string
while (i < vals1.length && i < vals2.length && vals1[i].equals(vals2[i])) {
i++;
}
// compare first non-equal ordinal number
if (i < vals1.length && i < vals2.length) {
int diff = Integer.valueOf(vals1[i]).compareTo(Integer.valueOf(vals2[i]));
return Integer.signum(diff);
}
// the strings are equal or one string is a substring of the other
// e.g. "1.2.3" = "1.2.3" or "1.2.3" < "1.2.3.4"
return Integer.signum(vals1.length - vals2.length);
}

for loop overextending index

I'm attempting to iterate through the EditText "name" and check the letters so see if they match any of the letters in the objects of the array uNamesList.
If they do I want to break out of the loop and return the placement of the object that had the matching letter. At the moment I am getting this error, anyone know what might be wrong?
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=9; index=9
uNamesList.add("bob");
uNamesList.add("mike");
uNamesList.add("sike");
uNamesList.add("othername");
uNamesList.add("name");
public int getName(EditText name) {
String text = name.getText().toString();
for (int i = 0; i < text.length(); i++) { //i = current letter in text
char cLetter = name.toString().charAt(i);
for (int o = 0; o < uNamesList.size(); o++) {
String uName = (String)uNamesList.get(o);
char uLetter = uName.charAt(i);
if (cLetter == uLetter) {
match = o;
break;
}
}
}
return match;
}

You get the text inside edit text in wrong way. it should :
public int getName(EditText name) {
String text = name.getText(); //get the text
int match = 10;
for (int i = 0; i < text.toString().length(); i++) { //get the length of the text
for (int o = 0; o < uNamesList.size(); o++) {
char cLetter = name.toString().charAt(i);
String uName = (String)uNamesList.get(o);
Okay, here's the edit for another problem. i dont know if this what you want.
public int getName(EditText name) {
int match = 9999;
String text = name.getText().toString();
boolean found = false;
for (int i = 0; i < text.length(); i++) { //i = current letter in text
char cLetter = name.toString().charAt(i);
for (int o = 0; o < uNamesList.size(); o++) {
String uName = (String)uNamesList.get(o);
char uLetter = uName.charAt(i);
if (cLetter == uLetter) {
match = o;
found = true;
break;
}
}
if(found) break;
}
return match;
}
The simplest way is just only call return when it found.
public int getName(EditText name) {
int match = 9999;
String text = name.getText().toString();
for (int i = 0; i < text.length(); i++) { //i = current letter in text
char cLetter = name.toString().charAt(i);
for (int o = 0; o < uNamesList.size(); o++) {
String uName = (String)uNamesList.get(o);
char uLetter = uName.charAt(i);
if (cLetter == uLetter) {
return o;
}
}
}
return match;
}

change your for loop to the following, you accessing name from the uNameList loop where the length might be different
for (int i = 0; i < name.toString().length(); i++) {
char cLetter = name.toString().charAt(i);
for (int o = 0; o < uNamesList.size(); o++) {

For EditText you need GetText()
name.toString() gives you the java desciption of the object EditText

You are getting a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException most likely due to this line:
char uLetter = uName.charAt(i);
i in this case can be greater than the length of uName

Android: If/Else statement makes app crash

I'm trying to tell if an android int is null by using If/Else
public void onClick(View v) {
EditText min = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText01);
EditText max = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.maxnum);
EditText res = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.res);
int myMin = Integer.parseInt(min.getText().toString());
int myMax = Integer.parseInt(max.getText().toString());
String minString = String.valueOf(myMin);
String maxString = String.valueOf(myMax);
int f = (int) ((Math.random()*(myMax-myMin+1))+myMin);
if (minString.equals(""))
{
// Do Nothing
}
if (maxString.equals(""))
{
// Do Nothing
}
res.setText(String.valueOf(f));
There are no any errors, but when I'm running the app its crashing when im pressing the button.
I'm also trying to use null instead of "":
if (minString.equals(null))
{
// Do Nothing
}
if (maxString.equals(null))
{
// Do Nothing
}
And i have a crash.
Please help me!!!

public boolean equals (Object object)
Compares the specified object to this string and returns true if they are equal. The object must be an instance of string with the same characters in the same order.
So its returning error so if you want to check if its null then use == operator on the object.
if (maxString == null )
Use
int myMin = 0;
int myMax = 0;
if(min.getText().toString()!="")
myMin = Integer.parseInt(min.getText().toString());
if(max.getText().toString()!="")
myMax = Integer.parseInt(max.getText().toString());
String minString = String.valueOf(myMin);
String maxString = String.valueOf(myMax);
int f = (int) ((Math.random()*(myMax-myMin+1))+myMin);
if (minString.equals(""))
{
// Do Nothing
}
if (maxString.equals(""))
{
// Do Nothing
}

do if (maxString == null )
{
// do something
}

int variables can't be null
If a null is to be converted to int, then it is the converter which decides whether to set 0, throw exception, or set another value (like Integer.MIN_VALUE)
So if you convert int to string again you cannot get null value.

check = input.getText().toString();
try {
if (!check.equals("null")) {
int max = Integer.parseInt(input.getText().toString());
int constant1 = 1;
int constant2 = 1;
int nextNumber = 0;
int count = 0;
String fibResult = "";
for (int i = 0; i <= max; i++) {
fibResult += "F" + count + "=" + nextNumber + "\n";
constant1 = constant2;
constant2 = nextNumber;
nextNumber = constant1 + constant2;
count++;
}
dspResults.setText("\n" + fibResult);
} else {
dspResults.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
dspResults.setText("Invalid");
dspResults.setText(Gravity.CENTER);
dspResults.setTextColor(Color.DKGRAY);
}
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

public void onClick(View v) {
EditText min = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText01);
EditText max = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.maxnum);
EditText res = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.res);
int myMin = Integer.parseInt(min.getText().toString());
int myMax = Integer.parseInt(max.getText().toString());
String minString = String.valueOf(myMin);
String maxString = String.valueOf(myMax);
int f = (int) ((Math.random()*(myMax-myMin+1))+myMin);
{
if (minString.equals(""))
{
// Do Nothing
res.setText(String.valueOf(f));
return false;
}
else if (maxString.equals(""))
{
// Do Nothing
res.setText(String.valueOf(f));
return false;
}
else
res.setText(String.valueOf(f));
return true ;
}

Application randomly stops responding.

I am new to programming and I'm making a very simple blackjack game with only basic functions. When I run the program on the emulator it runs maybe for one hand, two, sometimes 5 or more but it always stops responding at some stage when i click on one of the three butons. There is a splash screen that runs for three seconds and the there is a thread comming from that activity that starts this menu activity. Could anyone maybe tell why this is happening? It usually happens when I clcik on one of the buttons even though there is no much comput

Use the debugger in eclipse to find out where it gets frozen.
Also the android emulator is very slow even with a fast PC.

Try using the low resolution simulators.
open DDMS from the android-sdk\tools and check which method or thread is taking more time to execute.
Use AsyncTask or Handler when there is a functional(Computational) things running.
